Our team is working closely with SMART to ensure this website is accessible to all audiences and adheres to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 and Section 508 requirements for level AA standards.
How we build an Accessibility Driven Website
Screen Resolution
This website is designed to respond to the size of your screen. Resize your browser to the size that best suits your needs.
Text Contrast
All text on this site has been created to have a contrast ratio over its background of over 4.5:1. This adheres to W3C Accessibility Guidelines 2.2 level AA.
Images
All content images on this site are provided with descriptive ALT attributes. Graphics that are purely decorative in function have empty ALT attributes, to prevent them from displaying on screen readers.
Navigation
All pages contain a link to the home page, sitemap and search box. The primary navigation has been built in a consistent fashion to provide clear navigation throughout the site. Secondary navigation is provided for way-finding through individual sections of the site.
Links
Links have been written to make sense out of context, title tags or spans of text only visible to screen readers have been used to expand on the meaning of short links.
